ALTURA, Minn. – Miscreant vandals took their spray paint to a portable toilet at the new Veteran Memorial on a hilltop just east of Altura. The malicious graffiti, discovered the day before, was reported to the sheriff’s office about 7:40 a.m. The memorial had opened in June. It was the gift of the Wanek family, which had farmed several generations in the area, to honor war veterans, including MIAs and POWs.
